Hector Martin 812d861307 [keyboard] Add support for setting the layout via locale1
setxkbmap only works on X11/XWayland, and even on XWayland does not
correctly change the Wayland keyboard layout.

The "modern" way to control the system keyboard layout is via the
locale1 DBus interface (or the localectl frontend). On compositors like
KWin, this will update the keyboard layout on the fly, which is what we
want.

Implement support for setting the layout/model configs using locale1.
This is enabled by default when Calamares runs under Wayland, and can be
controlled via a config setting.

Calamares: Distribution-Independent Installer Framework


Current issue GitHub release GitHub Build Status GitHub license

Report a Bug Translate Contribute Matrix: #calamares:kde.org IRC: Libera.Chat #calamares Wiki

Calamares is a distribution-independent system installer, with an advanced partitioning feature for both manual and automated partitioning operations. Calamares is designed to be customizable by distribution maintainers without the need for cumbersome patching, thanks to third-party branding and external modules support.

Target Audience

Calamares is a Linux installer; users who install Linux on a computer will hopefully use it just once, to install their Linux distribution. Calamares is not a "ready to use" application: distributions apply a huge amount of customization and configuration to Calamares, and the target audience for this repository is those distributions, and the people who make those Linux distros.

Calamares has some generic user documentation for end-users, but most of what we have is for distro developers.

Getting Calamares

Clone Calamares from GitHub. The default branch is called calamares.

git clone https://github.com/calamares/calamares.git

Calamares is a KDE-Frameworks and Qt-based, C++17, CMake-built application. The dependencies are explained in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Contributing to Calamares

Calamares welcomes PRs. New issues are welcome, too. There are both the Calamares core repository (this one) and an extensions repository (Calamares extensions).

Contributions to code, modules, documentation, the wiki, and the website are all welcome. There is more information in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

Join the Conversation

GitHub Issues are one place for discussing Calamares if there are concrete problems or a new feature to discuss.

Regular Calamares development chit-chat happens in a Matrix room, #calamares:kde.org. The conversation is bridged with IRC on Libera.Chat. Responsiveness is best during the day in Europe, but feel free to idle. If you use IRC, DO NOT ask-and-leave. Keep that chat window open because it can easily take a few hours for someone to notice a message. Matrix is persistent, and we'll see your message eventually.
